Experiment to Discover 'Whence the Corpse 1n the '01150 Came, A despatch' from Paris says :—The Prefect of Polioe hes become deeply in- terested in unravelling the mystery in the case of the murdered woman found out up and commuted in a valise sunk in the Seine. Every clue has been fol- lowed out, but as it was decided that the murder was not committed in Par- is, but in some neighbouring depart- ment, an unusual experiment was tried on Thursday to determine whence it probably floated. The prefect secured a valise like that hs which the dismembered body was packed, filled it with the carcase of a sheep, and planed it in the Seine to determine bow far it would float be- fore sinking. From this experiment it was deaidea that the body was prob- ably placed in the river at Boulogne, where the murder is supposed to have been.committed. Therefore the. investi- gation by detectives busy been extended to that city. SAD LIFE AND DEATH. Most 1110 Ryes, the Result of Two Ac aldenis.

INTERNATIONAL LESSON, MAY 7. '£The Tine and the. Itr'uwl,es," Jolla 10. 1.11. /4eldrn Text. dolor 16, 8, PRACTICAL NOTES, Verse 1, Tee symbols of this lesson are so simple that explanation in de- tail is hardly needed, One thought rune through it all — the/ identity of our Saviour with his diaoiplds, The Husbandman has close, relation to the vino ho cultivates; the shepherd has closer intimacy with his sheep; the Master and lila disoiplea are brought into a union of interest and heart; but all swill nearness and union are passed by the identify whioh is More pictured by the vine and the branches. I am the true vine. The tical vine. As England holds the rose, Scotland the lily, Ireland the shamrock, and France the fleur-de-lis, so the Hebrew nation hall the vine for its symbol. In spite of the prevalent rigid. interpretation of the soeond commandment, this em- blem entered into th'e artistic and poe- tic thought of the nation, and was familiarly reproduced. A groat gold- en vine was festooned over the Golden Gate of Jerusalem's temple. On coins Judea was represented by a cluster of grapes, Centuries earlier the psal- mist had sung of Iereal as a vine brought out of Egypt and planted where briers had been; it took deep root, and extended far; the hills were oovered with its shadow; its boughs ware massive as a cedar. Neverthe- less it proved to be a £ailuro; for a season it brought forth "wild grapes," then became "an empty vine;" the boar out of the wood wasted it; the wild beast of the field devoured it; it was out down; it was burned with lire; it perished utterly. Now, to understand the beautiful passage we now study we must put our- selves as nearly as possible in the mental and spiritual attitude of tbo disciples. To thein the vine was a ready symbol of that nation in which the hope of the world was treasured; for "salvation is of the Jews." ,But they had begun to feel profoundly what the psalmist had long before be- wailed—that Israel had failed to realize its holy ideal, and that they could no longer depend on its hope. Jesus here presents himself as the ideal vine, of which even the holy nation was an imperfect symbol. Henceforth he is to stand before his disciples in place of temple, sacrifice, prophet and priest. He, not the nation, is the perfect fulfi.limeat of spiritual prophecy. 'We, listening to his words through the echoes of nineteen cen- turies, can badly fail to place the emphasis (as' the disciples must have placed it) on "T." Not the Church, nor creed, nor faith, nor prayer is the ideal vine; Jesus is. And so our earliest de- duction from this parable is that spiritual life comes. from. Union with Christ., and in no other way. My Father is the husbandman. Caring for Christ and hia followers. 2. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away. John the Baptist htul used almost the same figura when he said that the ex was laid to the root of the fruitless tree, which was about to be hewn down and oast into the fire. Every branch that beureth fruit, ho purgeth it, pruneth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. The divine Husbandman is working for fruit, and we join in his endeavor. The pains and limitations. of life are his pruning and husbandry, which some- times bring painful experiences, but af- terward work out for us the fruit of righteousness. "When we are judg- ed," says Paul, " we are chosen of the Lord that we should not be oondemn- ed with the world." What are the " fruits" that we should bear i' They inolude in the first plane, long-suffer- ing, gentleness; goodness, faith, meek- ness, temperance. They inolude,.in the second place, . all good 'deeds done ter others for Chalet's sake. Peter gives' us, quite apart from any figure of the vine, the great recipe for fruit -bear- ing; If faith', virtue, knowledge, tem- peranoe,patience, godliness, brother- ly kindness, and charity abound in us, we shall neither be barren nor un- fruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. ' 3. Now ye are clean through the word. "Christ loved the Church, and gave himself for it that he might sanc- tify and el anse it with the washing of water.by the word." This "word" is a collective phrase for the entire potency of Jesus Christ, his life, teach- ings, , death, and 'entereaiaon, all of which, taken together, are "the spring and source, and not only the instru- ment, of the Christian's purity." See vet'se 7, 4. Abide in me, and I in you. Our two cardinal duties are to keep our- selves in Christ and Christ in us. The holy relationship may be illus- trated by the love of two hu- man uman beings, each of which in Leath dwells in the other's heart. But the fellowship must be permanent; Lo adopt Lyteel phrase, 'it unu$t be an abiding, n•ot a sojourning." "Wee are made partakers oSChrist, if we hold our oon- fidenctt steadfast unto the end." "He that eudureth to the end shall be sav- ed." As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide iu the vine ; no more can ye, except ye abide in me, Cub off a twig froth a vine, and it dies; separate a Christian from Christ and hie spjritual life ceases, "And so,'l says Dr. Drummond, "the problem of the Christian life is simplified to this, to abide in Christ, to be in position," And he illustrates this by allusion to the sailor who simply harnesses his vessel to the wind, puts his wheel and rudder in position, takes advantage of energies already there, and lots the vessel go by the force of the wind. So we ;have simply to put ourselves in commotion , with Christ. For prayer and faith in their last analysis, are attitude. The soul is like a cup. Upon it blessings aro constantly pour- ed. Turn. it upside down, and nothing i.s rooctved; turn it straight up, and it is filled to overflow. 6. I am the vine, yo are 1110 branch- es. We go back In our thought to verse 1, of which verses 2, 3, ued 4 are a particularization. 11e that abideth in me, and I in hint, the samo bringeth furlh maob fruit, "l?r'uitfulnessin Use life develops cortealousness of (lariat's indwelling, and cousciousnees of Christ's indwelling in the soul devel- ops fruitfulness In the 11fe."—Abhnit, i"or Because, Without ale. Abort from ale. Ye can do nothing. So l'au.l nays, " I labored, yet not I, but, the grime of God which wee in me," 0. If a man abide not in tae, h'e is oust forth ns a branch, and is with- ered; and men gather them, and oast them into the fire, and 1 hey are burn- ed. An expansion of verse 2. The plain English of it is that when s, Chris- tian lives for earthly and not heaven- ly ends he has already severed himself from Christ, and his spirituality is in ruins. It has been wisely re- marked that vine branches are good for nothing but to bear grapes; and the other dressings of lho vineyards are made into bonfires because there is nothing else to do with them. In- stead of "men gather them," the Re- vised Version reads, "they gather them." Lal we are not to think of this passage as containing any doctri- nal statement concerning hell fire, 7. 85y words. By Lha Scriptures Christ is presented to us from different points of view. Be here points to him- self not as the Lamb of God, nor as the majestic commander of the forces of the universe, but as the Teacher, the Truth, the Utterer of God's words. Ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done, But remember the If with which the verse begins. If the "words," the "sayings," of the Lord "abide" in the Christian, bays Dr. Moulton, his prayers must be eohoes of those sayings. "This is the confid- ence that we hays in him, that if we ask anything according to his will, ho heareth 'us; and if we know that he hear us whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we de- sired of him." 8. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." So shall ye be ray disciples. In direct proportion, that is, to our fruit -bear - m9 As the Father hath loved .ole, so have I loved you, A measurement great beyond the finite comprehension. Continue, Abide, ye in my love. "The sap of the vine Is love.' "We have known and believed th'e love that God bath to us. , God is love; and he that dwelleth in love' dwelletb in God,. and and God in him." 10, "Obedience and love are per- fectly • correlative. Loves assures obedience; obedience assures love,"— Westcott, 1.1. These things have I spoken unto you, 011.l the "things" in this farewell discourse, and especially the words of our lesson. That my joy might: remain in you. In bis inter- cessory prayer our Saviour pleads that bis joy might be fulfilled in. his dis- ciples, and the repeatedly expressed desire of his heart Is that our joy may be full. ,There aro many reasons for overflowing joy, even in a world where we must have tribulation. "Our light affliotiou, which is but for a moment, workeih for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory." ,But especially should our joy be full be- cause our Lordx is th'e true vine; be- cause we are the branches; because his Father is the Husbandman; 'bemuse every branch that beareth fruit he purgeth it; because, in short, of every precious truth we learn front" this les- son. MORE DOUKHOBORS COMING. The Month of May Should See 5,000 More Reticli Our Shores -Liverpool Brokers' Compile Int. A despatch from London says:—The steamship Lake Superior passed Gib- raltar on Monday with 1,030 Doukho- bees. She is expected to reach Que- bec on May 10. The Lake Huron is ex- pected to leave Batoum on May 10 with 2,000 Doukhobors, and should arrive in Quebec on May 31. Other large par- ties are expected to follow shortly. Liverpool ship brokers are. bitterly complaining of the lose of business causedby the groat number of liners running between the Mersey cud' the St. Lawrence this year which engage cargoes direct with shippers on the berth at Montreal and Quebec to the, exclusion of English brokers. They say that having helped to make the large trade existing between Liver- pool and the St. Lawrence it is all the more unpleasant now to be robbed of the fruits of past labors, and that in- creased demands of shippers for ton- nade should pass .them for the new tines, BIG TUNNEL PLANNED. Croat Bnglneer,ng feat Bohag Conaldered to L len. A despatch from London, sayer—The project for a Lnnnel from England or Scotland to Ireland is very nsuola to the fore just now. 1t is announced that no fewer than five separate pro- jects aro under consideration, The difficulties in the way are great, the depth necessitating steep gradients for the distance traversed, The shallow- est sounding is 75 fathoms, and the distance, according to one scheme, is40 miles. The estimates of cost vary frons. £7,000,000 to £10,000,000, but the advantages would be enormous. The journey to America would be shorten- ed, according to the Arnold -Foster map, by 9501 miles. It is thought probable that the Walt railways will combine to take up one sollemo or, another, in the hope of obtaining It Gov.ernrnent guaranty.

On his arrival he event to the temple in the village and met the elders, but there wits such a noisy crowd that it was impossible to dis- cuss anything. Finally the interview terminated abruptly and some roughs raised a row with May's interpreter. May waited until he thought the crowd had pooled down, and then endeavor- ed to retire to bis boat. He bad with Irina some Sikhs armed, two district watchman and one Chinese policeman. Five Chinese soldiers were also Wait- ing outside the temple, On May and his party getting outside some one struck the interpreter on the head with a brick. Bricks and other mis- siles then began to fly about freely all the members of May's party being struck. The Chinese soldiers got sep- arated from the police by the crowd and as things began to look serious the captain -superintendent assembled the Sikhs in line, and ordered them to draw their swords and charge, In this way they beat back the crowd, who wore armed with chairs and vari- ous household utensils, and the police were able to, get to the boat. Dark- ness coming on, May marched the men back to the mat -house 1.o protect it and the Chinese then began another attack. May then. saw that the vil- lagers intended firing the mat -shed, and while they were engaged in doing this he withdrew his men down the reverse slope of the hill and hid them in some reed and cactus bushes. After firing the mat -shed the villagers dispersed, some of them passing quite close to the hiding place of the pollee. Then May made for Hong Kong. , His Sikhs were in an exhausted condition, They had had no food for 24 hours, their religious belief preventing them from eating what food was to hand. Major-General Garooigue, Hon, J, H. Stewart Lockhart and Captain Trefusis left Hong Kong with the Welsh Fusi- liers and punished the Chinese. OUR MINERAL PRODUCTION. An Increase of t$7,eee,ae9 In ''clue Cont. pared '51111 181:7. A despatch from Ottawa says:—The summary report of the Geological Sur- vey for 1898, just issued, estimates an increase of about 57,000,000 in the value of the mineral production of Can- ada, as compared with 1897, largely due to the development of gold -min- ing particularly in the Yukon. Dr. Dawson, in his report, declares that " the acgaisition and locking up of mineral deposits for the purposes of speculation only has become a serious deterrent to the development of Cana- dian mining." The director hails with satisfaction the " prospect of the early erection of a new and spacious fire -proof build- ing " to reolace the old and inadequate building in which the valuable collec- tions and reoords of the survey uta housed. Among the many Interesting notes of the Government geologists are the dir'ector's report on gold and gold dredging in the North-West Territories and the experimental borings for oil in Northern Alberta, in charge of Superintendent A.
